How fast is your iPhone 5 data connection?

The iPhone 5 boasts Apple's most advanced cellular radio yet, able to do super-fast LTE on multiple carriers around the world, speedy DC-HSPA+ and HSPA+ on AT&T and GSM carriers, and slow EVDO rev. A on Sprint and Verizon. But how fast is fast?

We need your help to find out! Download the free SpeedTest.net app from the App Store, make sure you're not on Wi-Fi, and then run a few tests. Let us know where you are and how good your data speed is. If you can, post a screen-shot in in iPhone 5 speed test forum thread so we can get the exact results.

We're going to crowd source this to see which carriers, in what areas, are providing the best connections, and just how good Apple's new iPhone 5 is overall. (And yes, we want all the results, good, bad, and ugly!)

Chicago IL,
I did several side by side tests with my iPhone 4 using 3G, and my iPhone 5 using LTE. The results were 2.4 Mbps for iPhone 4, and 2.3 Mbps for iPhone 5. I'm pissed and making a video that will be up on Youtube shortly.

You people must be sitting under the tower because I'm getting between 5-9 mb download & 2-4 mb upload. I'm using my brother's new I-Phone 5, love the hardware but my SGS3 is my phone of choice. The SGS3 in the same location is getting 3 times faster speeds both on the download and upload. After using the I- Phone 5 for the first time and then going back to my SGS3, THE I- Phone 5 feels like a toy.

So the iPhone 5 is Rolex quality and the sg3 is like made by playskool and you think the iPhone is the toy? Do us a favor and point that chunk of SG3 right back to android central and enjoy your 3x faster speeds over there!

As a Brit all I got to say is wow! Most of these figures are amazing. Hope you guys are making the most of it. The LTE revolution can't come soon enough here. Do you guys have unlimited data packages available again?

I am having the same issue with my Verizon iPhone. On my iPad, I get 20+ down, but on my iPhone I only get 5 down. Idk if there is something I can do to get better speeds on my iPhone. Both devices are on Verizon LTE in the same location.

I think its sad that the bay areas and the silicon valley cannot hit speeds like I am seeing reported here. Were the heart of technology and the birthplace of the iPhone. Its kinda ridiculous! Excited for you all getting these awesome speeds on the new phone!!! I will be on the 5S or whatever they decide to call it. Hoping LTE gets better here in the Bay!!

FYI: I paid full retail ( $911.00 ) for my iphone 5 64gb so i can keep my truly unlimited verizon data plan. Man did those verizon sales rep try their asses off to switch me from unlimited data plan to their new family share plans. "NO WAY!!!" I said.

Honestly, I'm not. I know I about to be contradicting myself, but I really hate useless post on this forum. iMore is one of my favorite iPhone related websites. I just feel that if you don't have anything constructive to say, then don't post in the first place. Trolls are the worst thing on the internet! Just so we're clear, I'm not talking about you. I'm sorry about the mini rant.

I also live in Charlotte and I get an average of 21 mbps down and 11 mbps up on AT&T LTE. I've seen it go as high as 35 mbps at my house!!
I heard many of the carriers had upgraded their networks in preparation for the Democratic convention here in the Charlotte area

I know that you want to know how iPhone 5 on LTE is doing but I just had to try it on wifi on my iPad 2. In Hamilton getting 14 MBps down and 1 MBps up. Unless I'm missing something here I can only say WOW! Can't wait for my iPhone 5 because I have Bell LTE in my area.

You guys are lucky. I don't get to try lte out until Monday when I'll be an hour away for work. I got 36mbps down on my galaxy s2 down there last week. Can't wait to test my iPhone 5. West Bloomfield/orchard lake Michigan area is where I was at
